KATE BOLDUAN, CNN: New this morning, the race to control the House in the 2026 midterms has taken a turn and possibly brings with it a new warning sign for Democrats. Harry Enten running the numbers on this one and sneaking in at the last minute, just as usual. HARRY ENTEN, CNN CHIEF DATA ANALYST: I've learned that way around. I've learned that. BOLDUAN: That was good. That was a good maneuver. ENTEN:...

One guy used $2.1 MILLION to pay his American Express Credit Card

Democrats improved in the third quarter, but Republicans still have more money. After just one vulnerable House Democrat raised $1 million in the second quarter, four members targeted by the NRCC raised at least that total in the third quarter. That group includes Rep. Jared Golden (D-Maine), who represents a district President Donald Trump won by 10 points and also faces a primary challenge. Reps. Tom Suozzi (D-N.Y.), Derek Tran (D-Calif.) and Eugene Vindman (D-Va.) each also each raised more than $1 million.“Americans are tired of the disastrous GOP agenda of higher costs, broken promises, and tax breaks for billionaires....

If their plan is just to rely on Trump’s overreach, then they’ll be repeating Biden’s mistakes.Voters certainly seem to be going south on President Donald Trump’s war on non-White immigrants. In a New York Times poll conducted in late September, a slim majority of registered voters said the president had gone too far in aggressively trying to ferret out and deport non-Americans — and that was before federal agents started using tear gas and pepper spray on the streets of Chicago.It’s a rare glimpse of bluer skies for Democrats since last year’s presidential election. But if their plan on immigration...

FIRST ON FOX — A sign featuring coded language threatening President Donald Trump and equating his supporters with Nazis greeted guests to an event last week headlined by Michigan Democrat gubernatorial front-runner Jocelyn Benson and U.S. Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow. The sign, displayed by local Democrats, said "MAGA=NAZI" and "86 47." The number "86" originated in restaurants to mean "cancel" or "throw out," but in underworld slang it is frequently used as a call sign for murdering someone. The number "47" is commonly interpreted as denoting the 47th president of the United States, Trump. Recently, when Trump foe James Comey...

Finally! After a decade of corruption, Stacey Abrams’ nonprofit, ‘New Georgia Project’ announced it is shutting down. “We are proud of the milestones we have achieved, the communities we have engaged and the countless individuals whose lives have been strengthened by our work,” the Board of Directors wrote in a statement. Earlier this year, the Georgia Senate launched an investigation into Stacey Abrams and her nonprofit, The New Georgia Project, for illegal fundraising activity. “Abrams and the New Georgia Project, from which she is no longer affiliated, are being investigated by the same Senate panel that has been examining Fulton...

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., stood by Virginia’s embattled Democratic attorney general candidate Jay Jones who sent text messages fantasizing about putting "two bullets" in his Republican rival's head and also suggested his ‘fascist’ children should die as well. As Jones faces mounting calls to drop out of his race because of the text scandal, with his GOP opponent going so far as saying he should disqualify himself at a Thursday night debate, Jeffries suggested that Jones already did the right thing by apologizing. "The attorney general candidate has appropriately apologized for his remarks, and I know his remarks...

In two days, be a part of the largest peaceful protest in modern American history. Join No Kings this Saturday at an event near you to push back on Trump's power grabs and make it clear—we don't do monarchs here.

Antifa rioters continue to plague American cities, but who pays for them? Seamus Bruner, VP of Research for the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), is just back from a White House panel last week where independent journalists who have covered Antifa’s activities explained their findings for several Cabinet secretaries and President Donald Trump himself, a surprise attendee. GAI’s crack team of researchers has already uncovered more than $100 million of taxpayer money fed into the protest industrial complex. Bruner shared GAI’s research with the president and the cabinet secretaries tracing the money that enables the rioting by Antifa and its allied...

Comedian Kathy Griffin wasn’t afraid to say something that might get her in “trouble” while sharing her opinions about President Donald Trump and his on-and-off billionaire friend Elon Musk. “People are calling this protest the No Kings Day, because Trump thinks he’s a f---ing king,” the two-time Emmy award winner said on Tuesday’s episode of her YouTube show, Talk Your Head Off with Kathy Griffin. "And you know he’s not. He’s barely a president," she added. Griffin was referring to the “No Kings” demonstrations—an anti-Trump protest—scheduled to take place across the country on Saturday, Oct. 18. In June, “No Kings”...

Wall Street Apes @WallStreetApes BREAKING: Letters are being sent out from the Department of Agriculture directing states to pause EBT and SNAP benefits beginning in November due to the Government shutdown The letter shows benefits will be paused 🚨 Democrats are about to cause millions to lose food assistance

Mike Johnson is angry today, or at least irritated. Some of his Democratic colleagues “stormed” his office, and he’s talking about what they did: berating a Capitol police officer who was posted to guard the place, tearing down a sign inside the office, and so on. There’s video at that link, if you want to watch Johnson expressing his disgust for this behavior. He’s Mike Johnson, so his outrage cranks all the way up to maybe a three, on a scale of one to ten. He’s a strangely Midwestern Loiusianan. But this is the thing he’s denouncing: [Video of noisy...

Not sure how I got on a Democratic text message solicitation, but I constantly am getting messages from various Democratic candidates using ActBlue. Never signed up for it. I’m constantly blocking new text messages soliciting donations. How do you get off once and for all of a Spam text message situation

The Democratic Party is collapsing before our eyes. You can see it in the polls. You can see it in their internal panic. You can see it in the way their message shifts from week to week as they desperately grope for something—anything—that resonates with the American people. Now they’re shutting down the government because they want to fund healthcare for illegal aliens. Why you ask? For two reasons: one, because they need to continue to create a new demographic for political power by keeping the illegals here on our social welfare programs to shore up Democrat Party power. Second,...

Indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James was defiant Monday in her first public appearance since being hit with federal charges over allegations she committed bank fraud and lied to a financial institution to obtain a lower mortgage rate. “We see powerful voices trying to silence truth and punish dissent and weaponize justice for political gain,” James told supporters of Zohran Mamdani at a rally for the New York City mayoral frontrunner in Washington Heights. “We are witnessing the fraying of our democracy, the erosion of our system of government,” the Empire State’s top prosecutor argued, describing the current state...

A long weekend away from Washington, D.C., did little to soften Senate Democrats’ resolve as they again blocked an effort to reopen the government for an eighth time Tuesday. The beginning of mass firings promised by the Trump administration and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Director Russ Vought over the weekend also failed to sway Senate Democrats, led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. One pressure point was alleviated for both sides, however, with President Donald Trump’s directive to move money around at the Pentagon to pay military service members. Their paychecks are due Oct. 15. Still, another...

The tenant living in the Virginia house at the center of New York Attorney General Letitia James's federal indictment is a 'fugitive' from justice, the Daily Mail can exclusively reveal. James has reportedly allowed her grandniece Nakia Thompson - along with Thompson's three children - to live in the three-bedroom property in Norfolk since 2020. Now, in an embarrassing twist for Donald Trump's nemesis, Daily Mail has discovered that Thompson is officially listed as an 'absconder' who is being sought by authorities in North Carolina for failing to finish her probation. 'Ms Thompson was sentenced to probation for misdemeanor convictions...

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has suggested Democrats may be waiting to cave and reopen the government until after this weekend’s “No Kings” protest. Internal rally documents reviewed by The Daily Wire indicate he’s on to something. On Saturday, demonstrators across the country will gather in what organizers describe as a “peaceful national day of action and mass mobilization in response to the increasing authoritarian excesses and corruption of the Trump administration.” That includes a major event outside the Capitol in Washington, D.C. Johnson suggested on Fox News last weekend that Democrats were holding out for the protest in order...

The Palisades Bowl mobile home park remains debris-covered, nine months after the fire and months after the neighboring park was cleaned FEMA denied cleanup services, arguing it couldn’t trust that the land owners, with a history of attempting to redevelop the park into something more lucrative, would let residents rebuild Former residents are running out of insurance money and aid to pay for temporary housing, still with no clear path home.
